If you are addicted to social media, you may be able to carry that addiction with you to the moon.

A German space firm called PT Scientists, along with Nokia and Vodafone, are looking to launch a telecom network on the moon. When Elon Musk sends his SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to the moon in 2019, it will be carrying a 4G mobile network with it. This will enable rovers on the moon to connect to the 4G LTE network and live-stream images back to Earth.

You may be lucky enough to vacation on the moon someday. Maybe you will be the first person to post a selfie at a moon-rock picnic.
